When spelt as in Fr., often pronounced (ˈkiːstɪn, -aɪn); but more usually written ky- after Gr. κυ-. With more accurate knowledge of the nature of the thing, the name is now little used.]

Lex., Kyesteïn..is now known to be chiefly composed of ammoniaco-magnesian phosphates, with fat-particles, vibrios, and bacteria, and to be found in putrefying urine other than that of a pregnant woman.
